Lin Huang called out to Bloody that was in his sleeve after activating the card reward on Xiao Hei’s side.
“Bloody, what’s the loot today like?”
Bloody reported the data it had compiled calmly, “We’ve gotten a total of 3,021 Emperor’s Heart Rings, 20 god relics, 34 demigod relics, two god-level puppets, 11 demigod-level puppets, 74 God Figurines, four Godheads, and 23 broken Godheads.”
“That many God Figurines?” Lin Huang was stunned. He had spent some effort obtaining God Figurines earlier and ended up accumulating ten, which was not an easy feat. However, now he had just obtained 74 God Figurines in merely a day.
“The God Figurines fell off when the Virtual Gods and demigods were killed. The Master God’s clone alone had nine. Seven from Grandmistress Wei, and five and six respectively for the other two God’s Messengers. Meanwhile, the 20 or so demigods basically had one or two God Figurines refined for emergencies while a few of them even had three,” Bloody explained. The Warlord had compiled the data for it when he was gathering the loot.
“Seems like I went to the wrong places before. So, the fastest way to obtain God Figurines is by killing human demigod-level and virtual god-level powerhouses. Too bad it’s a tad bit late that I’ve only found out about this now,” Lin Huang mocked himself.
As he visualized his God Figurines into True Spirits, all of them possessed a strong sense of territory, resulting in one Life Wheel being able to only contain one God Figurine. Now that he had surpassed the life wheel-level, the number of Life Wheels were fixed to ten. Ten Life Wheels would mean he would only be able to contain ten God Figurine’s Combat Souls, so it would be redundant to have more God Figurines.
‘I’ll get Sister Mo Mo to pick one of these God Figurines to be her vessel when she wakes up. Apart from that, it seems like I can only use them as battle puppets.’ Lin Huang thought about it thoroughly and figured there was nothing better that he could use them for.
He asked Bloody after setting the God Figurines’ matter aside, “Are there any sword and telekinetic weapons among the 20 god relics?”
“There’s a battle sword among the god relics but no telekinetic weapons. However, there are two sets of telekinetic weapons among the 34 demigod relics.”
Lin Huang nodded and mumbled to himself, “I can give the puppets to Grimace and the Witch as their toys. For the four complete Godheads, I’ll refine them together with the broken Godheads. I wonder if I could build a Life Palace after this round of refining.”
In order to build a Life Palace, Lin Huang had been refining the broken Godheads in the demigods’ bodies with Divine Fire, mainly because it was cheap to purchase broken Godheads and rather easy to refine them.
Meanwhile, a complete Godhead was expensive and the price to performance ratio was low. Moreover, with the speed of the Divine Fire in his body, refining a complete Godhead had extremely low efficiency. The time taken to refine a complete Godhead would be hundreds of folds more than refining broken Godheads.
Due to the various reasons, he had never thought of refining complete Godheads before this.
Now, he happened to have four complete Godheads whereby three of them were on Virtual God rank-3 while another was on Virtual God rank-9. Although it would take a long time to refine all of them, the refinement by Divine Fire was automatic. It would not affect Lin Huang in any way, so it would be a waste if he did not do so.
Lin Huang took action instead of hesitating any longer as he thought about this. He tossed the four Godheads into his body together with all of the broken Godheads that he had been accumulating. Then, he began to refine them by activating his Divine Fire.
As the Godheads entered his body, the ten Life Wheels in his body began shaking at the same time out of nowhere. The Godheads seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and all of them gathered together in his body.
Subsequently, the ten Life Wheels formed a circle rapidly and surrounded the Godheads in the middle. Divine Fire was shooting out of the Life Wheels, drowning the Godheads completely.
Approximately an hour later, cracks were showing on the broken Godheads. As time went by, the cracks on the broken Godheads expanded. Around two hours later, the first broken Godhead finally turned into tiny, dark gray gravel.
Since the first broken Godheads disintegrated, the second one soon followed suit, then the third… The broken Godheads disintegrated one after another. Now, all of them had taken the form of tiny, dark gray gravel. The gravels formed a cloud of mist as if they were alive and floated within the ten Life Wheels.
Lin Huang had been observing the process until past midnight. He watched the last broken Godheads disintegrate and become one with the cloud of mist. The four complete Godheads experienced no changes from the beginning until the end.
He felt helpless and snapped back to reality. Just when he was going to wash up and sleep, his Emperor’s Heart Ring vibrated out of the blue.
He checked and realized it was Guan Zhong who was calling. When he peeped at the time, he frowned. It was already 12.41 a.m. It was definitely bad news for Guan Zhong to be calling him at such an hour.
He figured what Guan Zhong was going to say roughly as he clicked the pick-up button.
Guan Zhong’s upper body was projected when the video call was connected. He clearly looked terrified.
“Master Emperor, Zhuge Feifan has escaped. I’m calling you just to tell you to be careful. He found out that it was you who ended God Bless all by yourself, so he might seek revenge.”
Lin Huang had already guessed what Guan Zhong was going to tell him when he saw him calling. He grimaced upon hearing the news. However, he did not mention the Union Government and Guan Zhong’s neglect of duty. Instead, he asked, “Can you tell me more about it?”
“It’s my fault. After you destroyed the Wei Clan, I sent a brief to Agency EA to give a short report on the situation. Perhaps he found out that his identity was exposed when he saw the brief.
“I contacted the Union Government president as soon as you gave me the list of spies. He had also given me the search warrant immediately. However, just when I was going to search for him as soon as I got the warrant, he disappeared.
“Everything in his office was cleared and the surveillance was wiped. His few accommodations were completely burned down, so there was no evidence left. Even his Emperor’s Heart Ring’s account was deleted and his messages were reformatted. A special virus, which destroyed all of the information he stored in the cloud, was planted.”=
“Since I couldn’t find anything from him, I thought I’d go for the people who are close to him on the list. I later found out that everyone on the list you gave me were all dead overnight. All of them were killed as a result of their brains having exploded. I can’t even retrieve any information in their heads.
“The autopsy shows that these people died almost at the same time. The cause of death is an energy bomb that was installed in their heads going off. That should be some special ability that Zhuge Feifan has never revealed to anyone.”
“So, you guys have zero clues on where he might be hiding now?” Lin Huang concluded after what Guan Zhong told him.
“That’s right,” Guan Zhong admitted that feeling helpless.
“Maybe I’ll drop by the Union Government tomorrow. Perhaps I might be able to help,” Lin Huang suggested.
“I think that’s alright. It’s a mess over here. You won’t be able to help with anything if you come. Let’s not complicate things.”
“What if I tell you that I have a secret image playback skill that shows what happened within 24 hours?” Lin Huang initiated assistance because he would feel uneasy as long as the fourth God’s Messenger was still alive. He was not afraid to be assassinated, but he had a sister and he did not want Lin Xin to be dragged into this for no reason.
Guan Zhong was stunned to hear Lin Huang’s offer. “Do you really have such a secret skill? It’s not the right time to joke now.”
“Do I look like I’m joking?” Lin Huang raised his brow and asked him back.
“It’ll be great if you weren’t. When can you come?” Guan Zhong asked rather frantically after confirming that Lin Huang indeed had such an image playback ability.
“I’ll drop by after breakfast tomorrow morning.”
Guan Zhong was speechless and mocked him secretly, ‘You still have the mood for breakfast!’
